"My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute." ~Ayn Rand

"You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.” ~Friedrich Nietzsche

“'What do you fear, my lady?' 'A cage. To stay behind bars until use and old age accept them and all chance of valor has gone beyond beyond recall or desire.'” ~Eowyn
